Hi guys today in drama we are writing a reflection, and listing things we enjoy and certain genres or style s that we have learnt during the term. After you did those two you link a video of theatre and say which genre and style it is. Here is what I did and I hope you enjoy it.
Some things that we learnt about was we looked at clowning, F.A.R.T.S Which stood for different types of things (Focus, Action, Role, Tension, and Space), we looked at different types of theatre. The most recent thing we looked at was also more different types of theatre, Comedy, Tragedy , Melodrama, Physical Drama, and Epic Drama. My favourite game that we played in drama was Park Bench.
1. Tragedy - I enjoy a lot of things about this genre because not all things turn out happy in the end, as well as it is pretty interesting. Something I have seen that is in the movie Romeo and Juliet.
2. Comedy - I like the genre comedy because you need to laugh once in while as well as its fun just to watch people be funny. Something I have watched in this genre is Dead pool.
3. Melodrama - I liked melodrama because I also like action films like Marvel and DC, They also are pretty interesting but you can easily figure out what happens. A film I have watched like this is Spiderman.

A link to a Theatre piece that is Melodrama.
I am a student at in Uru Mānuka. In 2020 I was a year 7 and in 2021 I will be a year 8. This is a place where I will be able to share my learning with you. Please note....some work won't be edited - just my first drafts, so there may be some surface errors. I would love your feedback, comments, thoughts and ideas.

WGA - Game
Hi guys today in WGA we started looking at three activites that you could choose out of any of them to do. The activity that I decide to do was create a game, which had you doe this with a partner. I did this with Carla. The game had to include one ball two cones and a five minute timer. It didn't take that long to come up with a game. Here is what we did and I hope you enjoy it.
Create a game activity
Partner - Carla
. 2x cones
. 1x Ball
Closer Cone
Put the cones 2 - 1 meters apart and grab the ball.
The first team in line has to roll the ball in between the cones without touching the cones in the process.
Each time the person gets the ball in between the cones the cones will get closer and closer.
Each team will have a 5 minute timer to do this and try to get more in between the cones.

Reflection
Hi guys today in WGA We are working on writing a reflection blog since we have done a lot of things that Miss Birtch doesn't know we have done. There are four points that we have to include in our reflection writing. Here is my writing and I hope you enjoy it.
I showed most of my CARR values, I showed commitment by finishing my work on time basically all the time, I showed resilience by still doing my work if I thought it was hard, I showed respect by listening to the teachers and not talking when they are, and I showed achievement by having no over due work that I had to finish on my own time. An update on my arts kete is that I found it pretty boring, I wasn't expecting much while doing it but I found it pretty boring to be honest. I have only done a few stiches for my name as well. I'm working on cross stitching the first letter of my name. I act the same with a reliever teacher because they are still a teacher even though they aren't my main one. A goal that I want to set for the end of the week is having every single piece of work done.

4. Add 3 drops of sodium hydroxide to the blue litmus paper in test tube 3.
5. Add 3 drops of sodium hydroxide to the red litmus paper in test tube 4.
Findings:
The blue litmus paper with hydrochloric acid went red.
The blue litmus paper with sodium hydroxide didn't change.

Meme - Reading work
Hi guys today we started reading a story name MeMe & Me. The story is about a girl who gets a new phone but it takes a turn. After you started reading the book you have some questions to do here is what is what I did for it and I hope you enjoy.
There was a girl named Nina who really wanted a phone to the point where she would beg her parents all day for a phone, her parents told her that she would have to make her own money for them to buy her a phone. Eventually Nina started cleaning her grans house for money to get a phone. Her parents ended up buying her phone. When she had her phone she posted a photo of herself but it ended up having blue eyes. Which here friend mentioned to her. Later on she met MeMe. Later on she goes to the shops with her mum without her phone and MeMe gets really mad and starts being really rude to Nina. Nina later on gets tired and takes out the sim card on her phone and cuts it.
MeMe was someone who Nina meet through her chat logs who was her friend for a bit. I don't know if MeMe is a human or a robot.
I don't really think something like this could happen in real life, it could happen that there is someone you become friends with online but then start being rude to you, but it its unlikely that they will look like you enough to be able to say you could be twins.
I don't know what the author is trying to tell us through the story.
